What a college BBall season it has been. With Perennial powerhouses being upset as regularly as Manti T’eo on visiting days, it’s impossible to say how this year’s tourney will unravel.
Last year’s March Madness was anything but in comparison to what’s around the corner. The most exciting story from the 2012 tournament was the spike in emergency room visits by nerds following Harvard’s first birth in school history. Watch out for those lemon drops fellas… they really sneak up on you.
Well the days of bore-fest brackets are over my friends, and what better way to celebrate than laying some hard earned cash on the line for what may prove to be the least predictable March Madness in history!
And before the whirlwind of overtimes and upset alerts begin, it’s time to download the FREE Excel Rain Man 2013 NCAA Bracket Manager!! Just another 360 Windmill spreadsheet solution from our own Allyssa Tzavlakis!! Side note: Allyssa has gone all out this year… by adding in the functionality to include the preliminary round selections if you want to. It is up to your bracket manager if they want to include this aspect to the pool.
This Excel Rain Man NCAA Bracket Manager is ideal for folks who can answer yes to any of the following:
• Does your office restrict access to sports sites such CBSSportsline and ESPN?
• Do you need a little admin help in managing your bracket pool, so you can fully enjoy the madness?
• Do spreadsheets talk dirty to you?
The 2013 NCAA Bracket Manager is a game changer for folks who want to focus on bracketology in the office while appearing to be working on a spreadsheet masterpiece! Cuz Excel isn’t restricted in the workplace… and if it is, I should probably start updating my resume (gulp).
So as Gonzaga looks to get comfortable in their new role as Cinderella’s evil step-sister… and as we all say our prayers for an early Notre Dame exit (mostly to avoid radiation poisoning from those day glow uniforms), let’s all take a deep breath, fill out a bracket and get ready for some fun.
Here’s how it works:
Direct the pool entrants to download the 2013 NCAA Brackets for free from the Tips & Tricks page of www.ExcelRainMan.com. Ask all participants to enter their Name where indicated on the form then they will use simple drop-down menus in the Bracket to select their picks for each game.
After completing and saving their bracket, participants can send their completed brackets back to the Pool Manager, who can easily upload everyone’s 2013 NCAA Bracket(s) into the 2013 NCAA Bracket Manager (simple instructions for uploading brackets are also provided in the Tips & Tricks section of ExcelRainMan.com). The Pool Manager has full control over the point system used for each round (i.e. First Round: 1 point per-win, Second Round: 2 points per-win etc.).
As March Madness progresses, the Pool Manager can simply select each game’s winner (in the “winner” tab) using the drop-down menus, and our Bad Ass Bracket Manager will tally the standings.
With this Excel Rain Man March Madness solution, people can get around having to use online accounts with the likes of ESPN.com or CBS Sportsline. Instead, participants can save their completed personal, print-ready 2013 NCAA Brackets to their desktop for easy reference, and all the while, look like they are diligently working on a kick-a$$ spreadsheet.
Let the Madness begin!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the use of Macros, the 2013 NCAA Bracket Manager will not work properly on Mac Computers. However, individual Brackets can be filled out by Mac and PC users.
